<\/a>Tiny island has a house<\/p><\/div>\n
Sometimes it looks like there is more house than island:<\/p>\n

These all look like summer or vacation houses as the seaway freezes over in winter making access difficult. The house above has \u00a0boat garages to house the summer transport.<\/p>\n
The 1000 Islands Tower looks like this from the ground:<\/p>\n

Basically one buys a ticket to ride the internal elevator to the top observation decks. The last two floors, one with windows, the other open, are reached by spiral steps. I did shoot some video from the top but still photos tell just as good a story so I will stick with them.<\/p>\n
Here is a shot of the bridge we traveled to get from Canadian 401 to the tower which is located on Tower Island:<\/p>\n

Stern-wheel boats provide a fun way to view the islands up close<\/p>\n

The top of the tower is a good place to spend some time looking out over the islands and water.<\/p>\n

After a pleasant visit, and some great ice-cream at the Tower’s restaurant, we headed back to Brockville. There we met some other rally folks and went to dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant. Good food, good talk, and a few adult beverages rounded out a good day.<\/p>\n
I have a couple more seaway photos that I’ll include here as they would be out of place in another post.<\/p>\n
